Andrew Wiggins is averaging 21.8 points and 3.7 rebounds while Zach LaVine is averaging 14.6 points and 3.8 assists.

The Magic are 20-8 ATS in their last 28 vs. NBA Northwest and 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games following a ATS win. The Timberwolves are 2-14 ATS in their last 16 home games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. NBA Southeast. The Magic are 7-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings in Minnesota and 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings overall.

You guys know I've been big on the Magic all season long and usually take them when getting free points. That doesn't change here against a Minnesota team that's so inconsistent. The Magic are the better team here and should be able to win outright.

Orlando Magic +1.5
